Join the ServerDespite the profound gratitude Lu Xi and her companions felt for Ye Cha, they were utterly powerless to prevent Ke Qian from taking him away. They could only watch, their hearts aching with an unbearable emptiness, as the two figures gradually receded into the distance.
Staring intently in the direction Ye Cha had departed, Lu Xi instinctively clenched her fists. The metallic tang of blood filled her mouth as she bit down hard, a sharp sensation that only served to sharpen her resolve.
‘She *had* to save Junior Brother Ye Cha!’
‘She couldn’t allow her junior brother to be stranded outside, suffering torture at the hands of a demonic cultivator!’
Just as Lu Xi was caught in these thoughts, Xiong Ni’s anxious voice suddenly cut through the air.
“Senior Sister, I’ll go sound the emergency alarm right away! I’ll notify the Peak Masters of the other twelve peaks so we can all search for the demoness. We absolutely cannot let her take our junior brother away from the Lingtian Sect.”
Lu Xi was not the only one distressed by Ye Cha’s abduction by the demonic demoness; the others shared the same profound sorrow.
After finally welcoming their junior brother, he had now been forcibly taken away by a demonic demoness!
“No!”
However, upon hearing Xiong Ni’s words, Lu Xi’s immediate response was a firm refusal.
This caused the other three to turn their gazes towards their Senior Sister Lu Xi, their eyes filled with confusion, unsure of her meaning.
If they didn’t seek rescue now, they would truly watch Ye Cha be taken away by the demoness!
Among them, the forthright Xiong Ni’s face flushed crimson with anger, believing Senior Sister Lu Xi was merely trying to save face and avoid admitting defeat in front of everyone.
However, the words Xiong Ni was about to blurt out caught in her throat as she noticed Lu Xi’s scarred and battered body.
‘Just moments ago, to save her, Senior Sister had used her own body to block the attack…’
These thoughts caused Xiong Ni to finally raise her hand and pound the ground in frustration, venting the gloom in her heart. At that moment, she felt utterly useless.
‘If only she were stronger, this situation wouldn’t have come to pass!’
Facing their bewildered stares, Lu Xi coughed several times. Only after spitting out a mouthful of bloody foam did she begin to explain further.
“The Lingtian Sect’s twelve peaks are not a unified whole. In fact, because Master’s exceptional talent led to her becoming the Sect Master, many harbor secret grievances… If the demoness’s intrusion into West Cloud Peak is exposed, it will likely cause trouble that could be detrimental to Master.”
As the Senior Sister of West Cloud Peak, Lu Xi was privy to a great deal of information.
Shen Ruotong had long ago informed her about the intricate internal politics of the Lingtian Sect, warning Lu Xi to be cautious and avoid falling prey to hidden schemes.
Originally, Lu Xi hadn’t wanted to tell her junior sisters these things, but now she had no choice.
Though she felt she was letting down her junior brother, the matter concerned her Master, leaving Lu Xi with no other option.
“But Master has already left! Even if others want to find fault, it won’t fall on Master’s head!”
“Even if Master isn’t within the Lingtian Sect, does that mean they can’t target her if something happens at West Cloud Peak?”
“…”
Lu Xi gazed at the speechless Xiong Ni, a bitter, helpless smile gracing her lips. “I’ve told you before, cultivate diligently, not for anything else, but simply to avoid being a hindrance… We are not only Master’s disciples, but also Master’s weaknesses.”
Now, she could only hope that her junior brother would be safe.
The methods of demonic demonesses were vicious and cruel; she wondered if Junior Brother Ye Cha would be harmed!
